    Sticky: Re: Results and Meta Post-DRS/Probe Banning

    I'd be happy on Big Eldrazi vs most of those. Death and Taxes would incline me to run Ballistae in some number, would want to be on Spyglass main over 3Ball.

    They work well together in my experience; metalworker pays for bridge and dumps the hand, also grants enough mana to Inventors' Fair a bridge+dump it. With 4 Fair and 4 Metalworker it's not unlike...

    Re: Steel Stompy 2.0 / Ravager Shops

    Aside from the fact that anyone can play Null Rod; you do what any good aggro deck does and beat them to death. Also DnT isn't likely to play Null Rod, far more likely to come out of a Delver deck...

    Re: [DTB] UWx Miracle Control

    We're talking about the version with artifact ramp, correct? Blood Moon is very mediocre compared to BTB in this instance, or From the Ashes + Null Rod if you really wanted to put the screws on.

    Sounds like they should ban Delver, TNN and Griselbrand etc.

    Re: [Deck] Goreclaw Stompy

    In general I wouldn't be too excited bringing in NO vs Sneak Show in the first place, too much countermagic.

    Re: [Deck] Goreclaw Stompy

    Elderscale Wurm seems like a solid NO target against Lands, Eldrazi etc.

    Is the sneak/show matchup awful? Would it be worthwhile bringing in some Karakas for that + lands?

    Re: [Primer] Eldrazi Post – Colorless Eldrazi Ramp

    This has been on my mind this week; on one hand hitting wasteland is nice, on the other there are no DRS' to hit anymore. If you expect a goodly amount of DNT and Lands I'd run Spyglass, otherwise I...

    Because he wants to reinstate a red counterspell engine and ban the blue one, least thats how I read it (ban Counterbalance, unban Top).

    Sure, it does a lot of damage at parity. Problem is that most of the better decks are very good at getting (and staying) ahead on board, ie DRS + Strix, which has lead to a lot of my games feeling...

    Sensei's Top, miracles loses a disproportionate amount of power and consistency from a brainstorm ban (as compared to other blue decks). Card was fine outside of the miracles shell.

    At that point I think the deck is just Stompy/Sylvan Plug. I've wanted to make something like that though, like:

    They were good about explaining their logic with the previous B&R announcements, disappointed with the lack of thoughts with this one.

    Re: [DOM] Dominaria (Spring 2018)

    The Kroog guy plays well with having Monolith and Key in the same deck, seems like some kind of big MUD aggro deck would be a good place for it.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    First thought: Knight is going to rot in hand a lot. However, some GSZ with a ramunap and maybe scooze to boot (plus friends post-board) alleviates this issue quite a bit.

    Cascade into Restore Balance, phase out? Very mana intensive unfortunately.
